First off this is not a book on training. This book I found most useful when it comes to grooming, and the anatomy of the dog, how to treat minor infections etc. Its really a great general book. It also touches the history of the dog which I found really interesting. So for those of you wanting some knowledge on how to look after a dog and know more about there body get this book! If you want a book on training? get a book on training. As the title suggests this is a 'Dog Care Manual'! Happy Reading

The Title of this book would make you think it the one to go for but don't be fooled.
It isn't. The book would be perfect for all those new puppies out there that are perfect and all they need is to learn to sit ect but the sad truth is that very rarely do you find a puppy that is perfect and thefore this book gives you little help.
While some of the techinques they use in the book are proven and well know there is precious little information to help you if those techinques do not work as well as they are shown in the book.
Therefore i found this book a waste of time training my dog and eventually stopped using it and went to a different training book with a bit more choose in training techinques.
